My Throne Of Wisdom 7. Infinite Dreams 8. I Will Not Forget... (Outro) 1. A Landscape Symphony (Introduction) 2. Cosmos... I gase into the sky My lips thrist evermore Secrets undiscovered Will I reach Valhall Far beyond the universe In this unknown land Seek the truth eternally Drift through cosmic sands Centuries of sorrow Thoughts as cold as ice Flaming red this vast horizon As I capture god's demise Far beyond the universe In this unknown land Seek the truth eternally Drift through cosmic sands For There Are No Borders But The Ones You Create Cosmos thy beginning Beauty of this final dawn Dreams of oceans crystal clear Crown's everlasting thorn 3. Dark Clouds Rise Above The Kingdom Oh hades I have been longing... In ancient times there rose a kingdom Splendid grand mysterious I travelled on the left hand path To see the uprise And the fall... Dark clouds rise above the kingdom Last taste of life... bitter scent of times long forgotten As I saw the sun... disappointed beyond the horizon I knew from the bottom of my heart... it would be the last time This stonewall of thoughts crumbled down Still I looked up into the sky... beyond the stars Beyond the universe... For is it infinite for is it real Shall my flesh be licked by eternity Or will thy autumn of thoughts lead me Into this winter of nothingness At dawn I dead... through life The tunnel embraces me... I fall My name carved in stone... epitaph of souls Flowers on my grave... certainty I felt my black heart for there was no return River Styx lead me to the truth Summon the ancient gods destroy the feeble mind I was reborn 4. Destiny Calls [Instrumental] 5. The Overture Of The Night [Chapter I of the Mephistopheles Saga] See me disappear I fly away This trail of tears... path of fears The journey hath begun My friend walk with me this road of myths The spring of time... the spring of time As we reach the end of time... my heart will bleed... please let me die Peace... at last I reached infinity... nature's circle... journey of the mind Tragedy of death Roses turning black Midnight mist is near Silence I hear Dusk possesses me Threshold's freezing fear Withering of flesh Wilted flowers left 6. My Throne Of Wisdom Longing for my desires reaching unknown borders End of this final cycle My throne of wisdom... the only one Travel on this alley of stars... I joined the hall of souls Shadows of passing dreams at last my wisdom arose Out of the ashes of time My throne of wisdom... the only one Travel on this alley of stars... I joined the hall of souls Knowledge will be mine I reached the throne of wisdom My eternal landscape Let me burn in hell The end of infinity the lake of thoughts Will drown forever 7. Infinite Dreams A cold wind breathes Ancient mighty castle I stood here on this mountaintop My tears mixed with sorrow The black waters shine Descending thoughts of grief The eagle rules the land Hear the cry of the valley The angel's eyes Dark end of the rainbow The grail to the truth Infinite dreams My longing is endless Landscape... majesty My last trail it has begun Oh sunset this final time The everflow ends My only domain Enthralled by this silence Emptiness reigns The angel's eyes Dark end of the rainbow The grail to the truth Infinite dreams These are my dreams of infinity Last hour of life Sonnets of nature This step I'm prepared Transcendence begins Acquiescence with death Afterlife is near A dream in a dream In these endless dimensions 8.
